I heard a tale of a man who sold a set of Britains painted figurines to a wealthy financier (OK it is now an old story), and bought a house lot in Victoria BC. Land values in BC are very high. Apparently his mother had encouraged him to take care of his toys, to keep the boxes and put them aside when he out grew them. The figures sat quietly at his parents' home while the owner went off to military college and a service career, until he found them again.
